Weather Lord: Graduation Collector's Edition

The weather has a pretty big impact on people’s lives, and it was even more important back in the day when technology was very primitive. Hence, frost could ruin entire crops, and a powerful hailstorm had the same effect. Naturally, people came up with all sorts of stories when it comes to the elements, as well as various gods that supposedly control the weather and decide whether to send rain, sun or a storm.

Weather Lord: Graduation is a time management game that’s part of the popular Weather Lord series, and it continues the story from the first few titles, at least in some aspects. However, most of the mechanics are the same, so it should be very easy to get into the game if you are familiar with the previous releases. On the other hand, it’s nice to tackle new challenges and explore new environments as well.

The story starts when King Victor and Queen Victoria decide to prepare their daughter to take the reigns of the kingdom, which is no easy task. Naturally, a test is required in order to make sure that Jenny is ready for the job, and the test in question comes in for of a quest that involves pirates and dragons. Thus, your job as Jenny the princess is to defeat the pirates and use the weather to retrieve the Great Dragon’s egg.

Just like in most time management games, your objectives usually involve getting to some kind of structure and repairing it while cleaning the road there first. You can also build facilities to provide you with a constant flux of resources, as well as make use of your special weather powers to dry puddles, send rain to grow crops, or use storms to scare away pirates. Your character can also learn new skills between missions if you complete bonus objectives and get the required experience points.

Every map is different, and it requires a new approach in order to complete the required objectives. Sometimes it’s important to manage your resources in the beginning, otherwise you can get stuck without enough materials to continue. Thankfully, there’s a tutorial in the beginning to let you know about everything you need to do in order to avoid that.

Even if Weather Lord: Graduation doesn’t innovate too much in the gameplay department, it’s certainly a great addition to the series, because it’s more of the same recipe that got you hooked in the first place. The graphics are great, especially when it comes to level design and the artwork in the cutscenes. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
